NovelEnglishChapter 218 Cedric Is Still Involved
“Jordan, I already knew that she was the perpetrator. She also admitted it.”
“What? She did? After hiding that fact for so many years! Did something happen to make her confess?”
“There are some things I can’t tell you in detail over the phone, but she had her back up against the wall, so she confessed to
save herself. Moreover, she paid her dues with her life.” “s–she’s dead?” Jordan asked in surprise.
“Yes, she’s dead. So, we should bury this issue too.
“You’re right. There’s nothing more we could do if she’s already dead. Anyway, we’ve managed to find out the truth, even though
no one suspected that Tess was the perpetrator.” Jordan sighed in sadness.
“One more thing, I’ve heard from Aiken that you’ve lost your memories. How are you doing? Did your memories come back?”
“Yeah.” Maia did not elaborate any further as it was too complicated to explain.
“I’m glad.”
At that moment, the pilot asked, “Mr. Cedric, should we take off now?”
He looked at Maia and said, “You should ask her instead.”
The co–pilot and pilot just smiled knowingly.
“Ms. Maia, can we take off now?”
“Please give me a minute. Jordan, we’re taking off now. I’ll be back in Prismara in a few hours. Let’s meet at my mother’s grave,”
Maia said.
“Sure, I was just about to suggest that. I can finally tell her that we’ve found her murderer!” Jordan added firmly.
Maia bid Jordan farewell and hung up. She turned toward the pilot and nodded her head.
Minutes later, the helicopter took off and flew toward Prismara.
The next day, when Aiken got home after he finished his shooting, he saw the news about Maia. He was so upset and
proceeded to call Maia immediately. Unfortunately, her phone was
turned off.
He continued to send a few text messages to her but still, there was no reply.

Aiken could wait no longer as he quickly got his car keys and drove to Starlight Entertainment. When he was on his way, he rang
his dad.
“Dad, I’m done with my shooting. I called Maia, but her phone was turned off! Where could she be?” Aiken fired off a string of
questions the moment Jordan picked up the call.
“Mala went to Ostthal for an event. She’s on her way back now. She’ll probably get here by noon. We’re already preparing to sue
those artists at court. Just worry about yourself, Aiken,”
Jordan commented..
“I’m just so worried about Maia. She’s not the same Maia after losing her memories!”
She’ll make sure that those who dare defame her learn their lesson. Besides, Mr. Cedric will look after her. There’s no need for
you to be involved.”
“Dad, I need to correct you. I’m officially shooting my shot with Maia! Moreover, my career is already a success. It’s time for me
to retire and start a family and no one is a better candidate than Maia!” Aiken said.
“Aiken, are you sure about that? How can you beat Cedric? I know that you like Maia but don’t forget that Cedric is still involved.
As long as he refuses to let go of her, you won’t stand a chance,” Jordan advised.
As an outsider, Jordan could see how much Maia meant to Cedric. Cedric was even willing to lower his ego and pride just to try
to win Maia back
Before Aiken could speak, Jordan continued as he warned his son seriously, “You know very well what kind of person Cedric is.
Besides, you’re not the only one who has tried to pursue
Maia.
“Just look at Nigel. He had been by her side for so many years and had helped her numerous times. Did you see Maia
reciprocating her feelings for him?”
“Of course she wouldn’t. She’s only grateful to Nigel. Look at how handsome and charming I am. I’m confident that she’ll like
me!” Aiken added.
“Why do I have such a shameless son? Wake up, boy! Maia has been hurt deeply by love, she won’t fall for simple charms that
easily anymore. Besides, your opponent is Cedric! Stop dreaming!” Jordan said heatedly.
“Alright, I get it. I know what I’m doing. You should leave us youngsters to our own ways. I’ll get to your office soon. Let’s talk
then.”
Aiken hung up without giving Jordan a chance to reply as he sped toward Starlight Entertainment. When he got there, the
security allowed him to enter without any complications.
